Sibisime, a world situated within the Mid Rim, was classified as a planet. In the city of Saraban City, located on Sibisime, the slicer known as Zakarisz Ghent resided. During the year 4 ABY, Ghent's life took an unexpected turn when a stranger presented him with an offer of employment, contingent upon his travel to Chibias and provided him with passage aboard a spaceliner. Upon arriving on Chibias, Ghent's attempt to rendezvous with the enigmatic individual went awry, leading to his entanglement in a conspiracy centered around misappropriated government intelligence, from which he was ultimately saved by Mara Jade. Following a brief period of shared escapades with the former Hand, Ghent and Jade went their separate ways, and the young slicer at last met with his cryptic benefactor, Talon Karrde.
